What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead accounting and finance operations where I can strengthen reporting, budgeting, cash flow, audit readiness, and strategic growth across complex portfolios.

I've led accounting and financial operations at Rockford Construction Co. and American Realty Property Management, supporting active construction projects, multiple company divisions, and more than 80 homeowner entities.

At Rockford Construction, I manage financial and accounting duties across services and verticals, oversee capitalized equipment tracking and cost allocation, and partner with the Finance VP and CFO on strategic opportunities. I produce month-end close reporting, sales goals, year-end audit reports, and annual business plans.

Previously, as CFO at American Realty Property Management, I managed cash flow, financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting while helping clients and the company pursue positive growth.
